Hi, I was wondering how does the Linux kernel assign IP addresses to NICs within the localhost. Say a host have multiple NICs, and it has got multiple IP addresses, how to map/bind the IP address to the corresponding adapter? What are the APIs to achieve that? Basically, it's sth that ifconfig does internally... Thanks, Lan -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
